Giclee

Giclee prints are created with an Iris printer which sprays millions of tiny droplets of vegetable dye ink onto acid free archival watercolor paper. The finest and longest lasting watercolor paper available. The inks are formulated to last 200 years and are used to produce museum quality reproductions. The paper or in some cases canvass is mounted onto a drum that rotates as it is sprayed with 4,000,000 tiny droplets per second by color streams of archival inks. 512 chromatic changes are produced, with over 3,000,000 possible colors of saturated water - based ink. The result is a continuous - tone print with the precise hue, value, and density of the original.
The image is printed as an artist proof and the artist makes any adjustments necessary to make the print correspond to the original. It is printed with inks that will last as long as the original. It is printed on the same quality watercolor paper as the original. For a few hundred dollars you get a reproduction of a painting that may sell for thousands of dollars that most people could not tell from the original.
Giclee prints have established an important position in the fine art market.
Reproductions produced in this way have all the detail, life and vibrancy of the original. Giclee prints are the highest quality prints available on the market. They capture the detail and brush strokes. Some collectors tell me they can't see the difference between my paintings and the Giclee reproductions. These are museum quality reproductions capable of being exhibited in major museums throughout the world.
